About this property

Chico Peak cabin near Yellowstone and Chico Hot Springs

One bedroom apartment attached to what once was a historic log bar now an art gallery and frame shop. The gallery is closed at this time. The apartment is spacious, about 500 sq ft with sliding door opening to a large deck with table and chairs, propane BBQ, and views of mountains. Lounge chairs are available in the warmer months. It is an ideal location, so close to Chico Hot Springs, 4-5 restaurants and bars, fishing, hiking and the quaint western town of Livingston!



It is in a picturesque location and is clean and charming. The bed is comfy and has a sliding door opening to an 8` x 24` deck and a wonderful view of the mountains and also is private from other homes and the road. There is a large `L` shaped country kitchen that has a love seat and end table as well as the dining table with seating for 4 and a corner cabinet offering storage of kitchen serving dishes, etc. There is a full-sized washer and dryer with laundry soap and dryer sheets provided. There is no separate living room. Tariff varies according to time of year. If you brought your four-legged, we have a small pet fee of $10 per day up to a maximum of $45, unless the stay is longer than 10 days. Additional pets, slightly more. Please get a quote for longer stays and multiple pets. We have a portable AC unit vented to outside.



Washer, dryer, deck, table and chairs, and all the amenities of your own kitchen, gas BBQ with propane provided. All paper products, kitchen staples and an abundance of spices are included! Also, Starlink WIFI and Dishnet satellite tv with lots of channels. Also a campfire pit with firewood, in reasonable amounts.



Slight. Our co-host, Melissa, and backup, Steve, are available by phone or text or by sending a message through the app.



I love the town of Pray! The town is really a wide spot in the road with a post office, art gallery, hair salon, surrounded by ranches and small acreages. The historic Chico Hot Springs is two miles away with its hot springs pool, Saloon, fine Dining Room and Poolside Grille. Other restaurants and bars or saloons are in the area, within ten minutes drive. The mountains are ten thousand feet high and are always beautiful. Horses frolic in pastures and there could be a cattle drive going on right on the road. Yellowstone is 35 minutes away. Emigrant is 3 miles away for a wonderful selection of groceries, even organic.



Car or bike is necessary. Horses are welcome too!



Starlink Wifi is available and new Roku 43` smart tv offer an abundance of satellite tv stations and streaming your favorite service. BBQ and a kitchen stocked with the basics awaits you! Ketchup, mustard, steak sauce, hot sauce, vinegars, extra virgin olive oil and Pam spray, usually a salad dressing or two and basic paper products are provided for you!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great place!!

We had a fantastic stay! The apartment was as neat as a pin when we arrived, and it is really well-stocked with whatever you need, from kitchen items to extra bear spray. The place is very cozy, and comfortable with our dog, as well. We went to Yellowstone a few days in a row and also hiked outside of the park. The location is great, the view is beautiful, and there are several good restaurants nearby ranging from bar food to fancy restaurant. We’d love to come back!

Cozy and quiet in idyllic setting!

We loved staying at Vicky’s in Pray!! It was snowy and below 0° outside when we arrived but very cozy inside! We were greeted with a plate of cookies and sweet custom print, and the unit is very private and clean. The laundry was a plus, and we both slept really well in that bed! It’s in a perfect location for Yellowstone/Gardiner access. Will be back in the springtime, thanks so much again!

Perfect little spot!

This lil cabin/apartment was in a prime location for discovering the area. Communication with the host was simple, courteous, and prompt. Lots of cute little touches around the space. And the view is simply perfection. Great to have a little campfire and look at the stars. Easy to prepare with a well stocked kitchen. Thorough instructions for the property as well as tons of helpful info about the area! Will definitely be returning next time Im in Paradise Valley!

WONDERFUL. Our stay was from 7/26-7-28 and I cannot recommend it enough if you’re wanting a quiet, home-like experience with beautiful views of the mountains. The owners are so lovely and left us a note, snacks, and guides for the area. It was so nice being able to home cook a dinner after a day of hiking and to enjoy Montana from a more authentic perspective. The house is decorated so adorably! This is truly the place you want to be if you’re looking for a home away from home on your Yellowstone trip. So many good things to say, you have to see it for yourself.

Pray, MT Convenient Location

Our 2nd stay @ the old Pray Saloon rental. Convenient location to Gardiner/Mammoth no. entrance to YNP, as well as Livingston if you're wanting to shop/eat/visit brewery. This stay matches pics on VRBO, clean, has all kitchen amenities if you're planning on cooking meals. Backyard has great view of mtns, scenic Forest Service accesses nearby, Chico Hot Sprgs nearby, as well as good eating in small town of Emigrant across the river, Yellowstone Hot Sprgs just down the road! Hosts are helpful & friendly, communication good, attached Shining Mtn Art Gallery worth the visit! Grateful to allow pets. Hope to stay again.

This was the perfect spot to cap off the vacation through Yellowstone. My wife and i stayed for 2 nights and it was great. Immediately makes you feel at home with everything you need. Super comfy and clean. We received tons of info about the entire area and shops before we arrived. They have great booklets on the table waiting with even more information from restaurants to the closest vet if needed. I will definitely be returning at some point and want to thank Vicky and Melissa for all the communication.

About the host

Hosted by Vicky Holland

Host profile image
I fell in love with this valley in 1993 and moved here to work in a Guest Ranch for the summer of 1994. Met my husband, Gary, that summer at age 39, and the rest is history. Left the hectic lifestyle as a real estate agent in Bellevue, Washington, and discovered that I had a creative side that needed to be awakened by my artist, husband. Bought the old Pray Bar, added on an 1800 square foot gallery and frame shop and settled in! We have two shitzu's, Kopi and Jessie, that assist in running the gallery, while Gabe, a deer-headed chihuahua, keeps me entertained at home managing the vacation rentals and the marketing details with the gallery!

Why they chose this property

It was a charming space in a town called Pray with a beautiful view and so close to Yellowstone! It answered my call for simplicity!

What makes this property unique

Totally self-contained but near restaurants and Chico Hot Springs, as well as the fishing, hiking in the immediate area and 35 minutes to Yellowstone Park, yet only 30 minutes to the perfectly sized town of Livingston! For more extensive shopping and entertainment, the college town of Bozeman is delightful!
